Summary

Cigarette smoking causes cancer and early death. Counseling and medication make it more likely that people will successfully quit smoking. These treatments are effective on their own and even more effective when used together. Strategies to raise awareness and provide insurance coverage for these treatments make it more likely that people will use them.
